Team / club bulk orders, what does the roster CSV pattern look like?

The pattern that works across team sports brands I’ve shipped:

• Roster CSV upload at the cart stage. CSV columns: player_name, jersey_number, size, position, custom_text. Coach uploads once for the whole team (30-300 rows), Magento creates one cart line item per row with the appropriate Custom Options pre-populated.
• Single shipment to the coach / club address with a packing list breakdown by player, each garment tagged with player name and jersey number for easy distribution at the team meeting.
• B2B account per league / club, Adobe Commerce Companies module on AC, or customer-group + extensions (Aheadworks B2B Suite, Amasty Company Accounts) on Open Source. Trade pricing per club tier (“youth league” / “high school” / “adult rec”) is a customer-group price-rule.
• Net-30 invoicing via Apruve / Resolve / TreviPay (they underwrite the credit, pay you on day 1). Or internal Net-30 with the club’s on-file PO number.
• Mid-season reorder flow, previous roster CSV is cached on the club account; coach re-uses it for a new player addition without re-uploading. Reduces friction; lifts mid-season reorder ~30%.

Implementation cost: ~$8k, $18k for the roster importer + B2B layer. Ships in 4-6 weeks. Pays for itself the first season if team orders are above 15% of revenue.
